Refugees From Blue States, Part Ii

...Then there are the very extreme 'soldiers' of the environment, anyone wants to build something, they march and sue to prevent. Now natural conservation is in itself not a bad thing, but blue state folk seem to forget there is a need for balancing. If there is nowhere folks can build then what will happen to home price? Supply shrinks, but demand stays high, driving land values out of sight. A million a year shot not be just enough to be middle class, yet from L.A. up to Nappa California is just like that! Add to this fact that we still need metal and oil to survive, and when we cannot extract it the price of life rockets high. Pricey to drive, to buy and sell, to put food on the dinner planes, please remember the human need when you're fleeing from a blue state. And finally there are the guns, which some say you should never have, that you can depend on police, that one always gives me a laugh! That a state would every try to erode your own sovereignty is a crime in and of itself, you are entitled to live free! And that means seeing to defense of yourself, your friends, and your kin. There's little chance cops will be there when true evil comes barging in. It's a thought that can scare a soul, but adults should act like grown-ups, that means taking action sometimes, especially when things are rough. You are no serf to be ordered, no coward who just waits for death, and that means you may need a gun to force aside that final breath. Here we do not expect you to surrender to murder or rape, so leave the gun-grabbing behind if your fleeing from a blue state. See, it always seems weird to us when folks up and move in here, then vote for the same policies that made their old jobs disappear. Keep making all the same mistakes, you'll keep getting the same result, you new home will end up ruined, and sadly it wall be your fault. But we can keep prosperity flourishing right here in this place, just leave the leftist crap behind when you're fleeing from a blue state.
